Traditional variety rice pounded using the wooden dhenki, a foot-operated mortar and pestle used in Odia households for centuries. Unlike machine-milled rice, dhenki processing retains the natural bran layer, giving the rice higher fibre, more minerals, and a fuller, more wholesome flavour. No chemicals and no polishing agents are used. Dhenki processing of rice is an ancient practice historically carried out by women in every household, and is deeply tied to rural and tribal Odia identity. This product supports the revival of traditional grain processing methods.
